The University has signed and submitted the Project Management Agreement for State approval, and will soon seek approval to commence construction of the project. During 2012, Wayne State University updated for the second time its 2020 Campus Master Plan. In addition to confirming the relevance of earlier Plan iterations, the 2012 update incorporates new and evolving initiatives not previously identified or prioritized. This Wayne State University 5-Year Capital Outlay Plan includes our current high priority facility projects which have changed by comparison to previous Plans. The most significant change is that a Science and Engineering Laboratory Classroom Building is the University’s number one capital outlay priority and we hope to submit this project request to the State for the next appropriation cycle. As presently planned, the Science and Engineering Laboratory Classroom Building will provide approximately 30 laboratory space for general purpose classroom functions. It will serve science programs such as Biology, Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Science, and Physics and also general Engineering programs. The facility will provide both dry and wet lab space, and allow for interaction among students in several disciplines. By strengthening the quality and functionality of facilities that support core and elective science course work; Wayne State students will be better prepared to engage and contribute to societies scientific agenda. The total cost of the project, including renovation of 35,400 square feet of vacated lab space, is expected to be $28 million. 1 Wayne State University November 2, 2012 FY2014-2018 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan I. Mission Statement Wayne State University is a national research institution dedicated to preparing students to excel in an increasingly advanced and interconnected global society. As an urban research University, Wayne State’s mission is to discover, examine, transmit and apply knowledge that contributes to the positive development and well-being of individuals, organizations and society. II. Instructional Programming Existing Academic Programs Wayne State is a comprehensive research University with 13 schools and colleges administering more than 390 academic programs, including 129 bachelor's degree programs, 119 master's degree programs, 61 doctoral degree programs and 81 certificate, specialist and professional programs, many of which rank in the top tier nationally. The University offers higher education to more than 28,900 students. Seven extension centers in the metropolitan area provide access for residents to a wide selection of off campus courses. Wayne State is a significant and influential force in metropolitan Detroit’s educational and cultural landscape, and the 43-acre research and technology park that is supported by the University has made it a major player in Michigan’s economic turnaround. Approximately 91 percent of the University’s students are from Michigan, with about 80 percent from the three-county metropolitan Detroit area. Wayne State graduates provide the highly educated workforce necessary to transform and power Michigan’s economy in the 21st century. Wayne State graduates serve the citizens of Michigan with advanced professional training in business; engineering; education; law; pharmacy and health sciences; medicine; nursing; social work; fine, performing and communication arts, liberal arts; and the basic sciences. Every day Wayne State graduates play a critical role in Michigan life, from local physicians to scientists and engineers working in the latest high-tech spin-off companies. Figure 1 illustrates the University’s fall 2012 enrollment by headcount and degrees awarded in the 2011-2012 academic year. Note that the Library & Information Science program moved from the Graduate School in Spring/Summer 2009 and is now being reported separately. In addition, these figures exclude graduate medical education students. 2 Wayne State University November 2, 2012 FY2014-2018 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan Figure 1 Wayne State University Degrees Granted & Enrollment 2011-12 Degrees Fall 2012 School/College Awarded Enrollment School of Business Admin. 742 3,234 College of Education 773 3,279 College of Engineering 459 2,437 College of Fine, Performing & Comm.

The MBRB will strengthen the University’s ability to conduct translational research; a key scientific need identified by the National Institutes of Health. The MBRB is essential to helping Wayne State bring additional research dollars to campus and to providing students and research faculty with laboratories and the technology necessary for continued academic success and expanded scientific discovery. During 2012, Wayne State updated its Campus Master Plan. The goals associated with the 2012 update were: To investigate new or evolving University initiatives as they pertain to possible changes or additions to Campus Master Plan priorities. Review building conditions, deficiencies, and opportunities within the College of Engineering and the Sciences to determine whether current 3 Wayne State University November 2, 2012 FY2014-2018 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan needs should be elevated in priority to better support research initiatives. To update the status of projects proposed in the original 2020 Campus Master Plan and those of the update conducted in 2008. Develop final recommendations for specific capital projects to be included in this 5-Year Capital Plan and possibly within the next University bond issue and capital campaign. Through this effort Wayne State confirmed several priorities and identified new initiatives that will improve students’ learning experience, boost the University’s national reputation for research and scholarships, enrich the quality of campus life, and build community and private sector partnerships. By providing the best possible research and learning environments, Wayne State will continue to prepare students to excel in an increasingly advanced and interconnected global society, as well as fulfill its promise to provide scientists and clinical investigators with top-quality facilities in which to work. Wayne State will work to obtain revenue from state capital appropriations, bond sale proceeds, user fees, federal government grants, private partnerships and private donations to secure funding for these projects. The following summarizes the University’s major facility priorities during the next five years: Multidisciplinary Biomedical Research Building: $90,400,000 Student Center Building Renovations: $25,000,000 Science and Engineering Lab Classroom Building: $28,000,000 Electrical Infrastructure Upgrades: $19,350,000 Macomb Advanced Technology Education Center: $12,000,000 Parking Structures and Related Improvements: $13,000,000 University Deferred Maintenance Program: $50,000,000 Hilberry Gateway Phase I: $25,000,000 Various Research Laboratory Renovations: $5,500,000 BioEngineering Building Renovation and Expansion: $19,250,000 State Hall Classroom Building Renovation: $20,000,000 Wayne State will implement these major initiatives to increase its research stature, and to improve general education, residential, parking, and support and service facilities to meet the changing expectations of students and keep 4 Wayne State University November 2, 2012 FY2014-2018 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan pace with
